Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4.

In this webinar, we cover how Border Gateway Protocol works. Starting from key concepts, you'll learn about Autonomous Systems, the BGP protocol, AS Path, learning and advertising routes, RIBs and route selection. See the webinar recording at https://www.thousandeyes.com/webinars/how-bgp-works
The document discusses various techniques for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6, including dual stack, tunnels, and translation. Dual stack allows simultaneous support of both IPv4 and IPv6 by keeping both protocol stacks. Tunnels encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to carry IPv6 traffic over IPv4 networks. Translation techniques like NAT64 algorithmically translate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to allow communication between IPv4-only and IPv6-only nodes. Newer methods like 464XLAT and DS-Lite aim to address IPv4 exhaustion by sharing public IPv4 addresses among more clients.
iSCSI allows storage devices to be accessed over IP networks rather than direct attaching via SCSI cables. It works by encapsulating SCSI commands and data within TCP packets. Key points:
- iSCSI targets export storage as logical units (LUNs) over iSCSI. Initiators can then access these LUNs remotely over IP networks.
- This allows centralized storage consolidation and disaster recovery mirroring between data centers connected via IP.
- Security features include CHAP authentication of initiators and targets as well as logical/physical network isolation of iSCSI traffic.
- Challenges include the different performance characteristics of SCSI versus TCP/IP networks, such as higher delays over WAN
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a link-state routing protocol that can be used for both small and large networks. It uses areas and hierarchical network design to reduce routing overhead and improve performance as the network scales.
- OSPF establishes neighbor relationships to exchange routing information. It elects a Designated Router and Backup Designated Router to optimize this exchange on multi-access networks. Link-state databases are synchronized between neighbors to calculate the shortest paths.
- Basic OSPF configuration involves enabling OSPF on interfaces and networks, setting authentication, and adjusting metrics and timers. Loopback interfaces ensure router IDs remain stable. Verification commands display neighbor relationships and routing tables.
The document provides an overview of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). It discusses BGP concepts such as autonomous systems, path attributes, and the BGP protocol operation. Key points include that BGP establishes peering sessions to exchange routing information, uses route attributes like AS path, next hop, and communities to determine the best path, and supports techniques like route reflection and confederation to improve scalability in large networks.
The document discusses IP addresses and the differences between IPv4 and IPv6. It defines what an IP address is, its uses, and the classes and addressing in IPv4. It describes problems with IPv4 like limited address space. It then defines IPv6 addressing which uses 128-bit addresses written in hexadecimal, and types of IPv6 addresses. It lists advantages of IPv6 like larger address space and built-in security. Tables compare features of IPv4 and IPv6 like address space, header fields, and representation.

This document provides an overview of Aruba ClearPass and its access management capabilities. It discusses ClearPass' policy model and how it uses context such as identity, device, and location to enable granular, role-based access policies. It covers ClearPass' authorization features and how it profiles devices to incorporate that data into policies. The document also reviews ClearPass clustering functionality and considerations for deployment and operations.
The document discusses Access Control Lists (ACLs), which are lists of permit or deny rules that control what traffic can enter or leave a router's interface. There are standard ACLs, which filter traffic based only on the source IP address, and extended ACLs, which can filter traffic based on additional attributes like destination address, protocol, and port numbers. ACL rules are evaluated sequentially, with an implicit "deny all" rule at the end, so ACLs should be placed strategically to filter traffic close to either its source or destination.

ARC is a new email protocol that captures and conveys authentication results when messages go through "indirect mailflows," like mailing lists, virus scanners, or alumni forwarding services. This allows the final recipient to see whether and how the message authenticated when it arrived at the first ARC-aware intermediary. Such information might be used by receivers to identify legitimate messages which, because of forwarding or alterations like subject tags or footers, no longer pass commonly accepted authentication checks. Today this can happen when an Internet domain publishes a strict DMARC policy, but email users with addresses in that domain send messages through these indirect mailflows.
BGP Flowspec (RFC5575) Case study and DiscussionAPNIC

The document discusses several real-world use cases where BGP Flowspec was deployed to successfully block large DDoS attacks in a targeted manner without affecting legitimate traffic. However, interoperability between vendors and scalability challenges remain open issues requiring further work and testing.
Wireshark is a network packet analyzer that allows users to examine network packet data and traffic in detail.

This document discusses port security on Cisco switches. It explains that by default all switch ports are open, allowing any device to connect. Port security allows restricting a port to only allow specific MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access. It provides steps to configure port security by defining the port as an access port, enabling port security, and specifying allowed MAC addresses. It also describes optional settings like violation actions and maximum MAC addresses. An example configuration is given to demonstrate learning and blocking additional MACs on a port.
IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol that provides a vastly larger number of IP addresses compared to the current IPv4. It features 128-bit addressing which allows for trillions of devices to have unique IP addresses. IPv6 also aims to make networking more secure and allow for more efficient routing. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is underway, with most modern operating systems and network hardware now supporting IPv6, though applications support is still growing. IPv6's expanded addressing capabilities and additional features will help meet future demands on the Internet as more devices connect online.
The document provides an overview of IPv6 implementation including key features like larger address space, simplified headers, and auto-configuration. It discusses IPv6 addressing modes like unicast, multicast, and anycast. Special address types and the IPv6 header are also explained. Methods for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 like dual stack routers and tunneling are covered. IPv6 routing protocols and basic configuration are also summarized.
IPv4 addresses are running out, so IPv6 was created with a vastly larger 128-bit address space. During the transition, IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist via three main methods: dual-stack, tunneling, and translation. For internet service providers, dual-stack is the best approach as it allows gradual migration while both protocols are supported. The presentation provides details on IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes, transition mechanisms, and configuration examples for tunneling dual-stack implementations at an ISP.

Solution
Introductory lines:
The internet protocol or IP specifies and describes the technical details and formats of fragments
of data (Also known as packets.) along with addressing schemes (numerical; actually in binary
but can be interpreted as decimals or hexadecimals assigned to each of the devices connected
through the network) in order to uniquely identify them and create a platform for secure and
reliable communication.
Ipv4 over the years was proved and deployed for communications over the internet. However in
the current days it becomes obsolete and deficient in order to serve the huge and increasing
number of users or network devices.
To make this possible, the IPv6 comes into existence. The IPv6 provides many extra features and
claims to support and serve this increasing number of devices for upcoming coming centuries.
Let’s discuss about the similar and distinct features of both IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 in terms of IP addresses, Address allocation, masks and types:
IPv6 in terms of IP addresses, Address allocation, masks and types:
IPv4 in terms of IP header:
Headers in IPv4 are of variable length that varies from 20 to 60 bytes.
IPv4 does not identify packet flow for QOS handling.
It adds checksum filed for identification of transmission errors in the data.
IPv6 in terms of IP header:
Uses fixed length of 40 bytes of headers and there is no concept of option filed in header.
It supports packet flow for QOS by flow level filed.
IPv6 does not implements checksum for error handling.
IPv4 in terms of IP packets ports and security:
IPv4 supports the packet size of 576 bytes.
They also support packet filtering mechanisms through firewalls.
IPv4 supports for port spaces of the range 1 to 65535
IPsec in IPv4 is optional.
IPv6 in terms of IP packets ports and security:
IPv6 supports the packet size of 1280 bytes.
They does not supports packet filtering mechanisms.
The way the portts work both in IPv4 and IPv6 are the same.
IPv6 has inbuilt IPsec support.
IPv4 was successful;;y deployed in 1981 over internet whereas IPv6 was planned to be deployed
from 1999 but could partially deployed till the date.
Why transition from IPv4 to IPv6 must occur ?
The deficiency of IP address of IPv4 type is one of the most eye catching reasons for transition
towards IPv6. Each and every day the Internet is experiencing phenomenal increase of devices
which are being connected and using the internet.
In order to provide services to all the address space of IPv4 seems to be fewer. Hence
a transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is must needed to satisfy such demand of larger address space.
Except this, the other technical features like improve.
The document discusses the World IPv6 Launch event scheduled for June 6, 2012. It notes that IPv4 addresses are exhausted, IPv6 is the replacement standard that has been available for over 15 years, and the 2012 event aims to fully transition the internet to IPv6 without the ability to rollback to prevent future growth issues due to IPv4 exhaustion. Major internet organizations are participating to ensure all content and services are fully accessible over IPv6.

IPv6 The Big Move Transition And Coexistentfrenildand
The document discusses the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. It notes that IPv4 addresses are running out due to the rapid growth of the internet. IPv6 was developed as a replacement, using a 128-bit address space to provide vastly more addresses. The document outlines some key advantages of IPv6, such as larger addresses, simpler headers, better security and quality of service support. It also examines how IPv6 and IPv4 will coexist during a long transition period, using various transition technologies.
A Survey On Next Generation Internet Protocol IPv6Carrie Romero
This document discusses IPv6 and the need to transition from IPv4 to IPv6. It provides an overview of IPv6, including that IPv6 was developed to address the limited address space of IPv4 and improve security. It also discusses some of the key challenges in transitioning to IPv6, such as the need for IPv6 and IPv4 to coexist during transition. The document summarizes various transition techniques between IPv6 and IPv4, including dual stack, tunneling, and translation methods.
Routing protocols have been redefined to support IPv6. There are two types of routing protocols: distance vector protocols which advertise routes to neighbors (e.g. RIPng), and link-state protocols which advertise link states (e.g. OSPFv3). Routing protocols can be interior (within an autonomous system) or exterior (between autonomous systems). Common interior protocols are RIPng and OSPFv3, while BGPv4 is commonly used as the exterior protocol.
The document discusses the upcoming introduction of IPv6. [1] IPv6 is a new standard for IP numbering that will provide more IP addresses as the current IPv4 addresses are running out. [2] It will help overcome limitations in the old IPv4 system and ensure there are enough addresses available into the next century. [3] The document outlines some of the key features and improvements IPv6 will provide, such as larger packet sizes, better security features, quality of service support, and mobility support.
IPv6 was developed to replace IPv4 due to IPv4's limited address space and other issues. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses compared to IPv4's 32-bit addresses, providing vastly more unique addresses. It also includes improvements in areas like security, quality of service, and extension headers. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is still ongoing, with strategies like running both protocols simultaneously, tunneling IPv6 traffic over IPv4, and translating headers to allow ongoing communication as adoption increases.
IPv4 and IPv6 are different versions of the Internet Protocol. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses which limits the available number of addresses to around 4 billion, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses allowing for a vast number of available addresses. Some techniques were used to extend IPv4 such as subnetting and NAT, but IPv6 was developed to provide a long-term solution and overcome IPv4's scaling limitations. IPv6 improves upon IPv4 in areas such as efficiency, security, auto-configuration, and header structure. Widespread adoption of IPv6 has been slowed due to compatibility issues and costs of upgrading systems.
The document discusses IPv6 and transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6. Some key points include:
- IPv6 addresses larger address space and other improvements over IPv4 like more efficient routing and built-in security.
- Transition technologies like IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling can help transition from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.
- There are some valid concerns about transitioning like needing larger packet headers but overall the benefits of IPv6 outweigh these issues. Proper hardware support can alleviate performance concerns.
IPv6 is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol intended to replace IPv4 and address its limitations. It uses 128-bit addresses compared to IPv4's 32-bit addresses, allowing for many more available IP addresses. Some key advantages of IPv6 include larger address space, multicasting, auto-configuration, network security features, and support for mobility. Today, practical applications of IPv6 include providing enormous address space for large networks, enabling IPv6-only services and connections, and allowing efficient connections from IPv6-only access points.
#1) IPv6 provides a substantially larger IP address space than IPv4, with 340 undecillion available addresses.
#2) IPv6 provides better end-to-end connectivity than IPv4 by eliminating the need for Network Address Translation (NAT).
#3) IPv6 allows for easier autoconfiguration of devices on networks through features like plug-and-play autoconfiguration and stateless address autoconfiguration.
This document discusses IPv6, including:
1. An overview of IPv6, which was developed to address the limited address space of IPv4 as internet usage grew exponentially.
2. IPv6 addresses are 128-bit and represented using eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
3. Reasons for the development of IPv6 include supporting more devices connected to the internet and incorporating security features not available in IPv4.
The document discusses IPv6 adoption on the InteropNET network, including transition strategies used like dual stacking, autoconfiguration so clients can obtain IPv6 addresses, DNS services load balanced across both IPv4 and IPv6, and wireless access points supporting both protocols, with the goal of making internal services fully available over both IPv4 and IPv6. Challenges included ensuring services published AAAA records and coordinated with vendors to support IPv6, and some monitoring of IPv6 attack traffic was also performed.
IPv4 was first developed in 1978 and has been deployed globally but will soon run out of addresses as it only provides 4 billion addresses. IPv6 was developed in 1993 to replace IPv4 and provides an immense 340 undecillion addresses to accommodate continued growth of the internet. IPv6 improves on IPv4 with a larger 128-bit address size, built-in security features, and auto-configuration to simplify network management. While IPv6 has been available since 1999, many networks and devices still rely on IPv4, but further IPv6 adoption will be necessary to sustain long term growth of internet connectivity.
This document discusses various techniques for IPv6 transition and coexistence with IPv4, including:
- Dual-stack which allows simultaneous support of both IPv4 and IPv6.
- Tunnels which encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to provide IPv6 connectivity through IPv4 networks.
- Translation techniques like NAT64 which allow communication between IPv4-only and IPv6-only nodes.
The document provides an overview of IPv6 including:
- Limitations of IPv4 that IPv6 addresses such as limited address space and lack of security.
- Key features of IPv6 like a larger 128-bit address space, simpler header format, and built-in security.
- Protocols that support IPv6 functionality like Neighbor Discovery Protocol, Path MTU Discovery, and stateless and stateful address autoconfiguration.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
2. The Need for IPv6
• IPv6 has a larger 128-bit address space,
providing
(340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,76
8,211,456 to be exact) addresses. This
provides roughly 50 octillion addresses per
person alive on Earth today, or roughly 3.7 x
1021 addresses per square inch of the Earth’s
surface.
• A lack of Internet addresses caused web
programmes slow down.
• To allow the Internet to continue to grow and
spread across the world, implementing IPv6 is
necessary.
3. The Need for IPv6
• The depletion of IPv4 address space
has been the motivating factor for
moving to IPv6
• IPv4 has a theoretical maximum of 4.3
billion addresses. With an increasing
Internet population, a limited IPv4
address space, issues with NAT and an
Internet of Everything.
• The time has come to begin the
transition to IPv6.
4. IPv4 and IPv6 Coexistence
• There is not a single date to move to IPv6. For the
future, both IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist. The IETF has
created various protocols and tools to help
network administrators migrate their networks to
IPv6. The migration techniques can be divided into
three categories:
• Dual Stack –A station must run IPv4 and IPv6
simultaneously until all the Internet uses IPv6. To
determine which version to use when sending a
packet to a destination to the source host queries
the DNS. If the DNS return an IPv4 address, the
source host sends an IPv4 packet. If the DNS return
an IPv6 address, the source host sends an IPv6
packet.
5. IPv4 and IPv6 Coexistence
• Tunneling: is a strategy used when two computer
using IPv6 want to communicate with each other and
the packet must pass through a region that uses an
IPv4. To pass through this region the packet must
have an IPv4 address. So the IPv6 packet is
encapsulated in IPv4 packet when it enters the
region, and it leaves its capsule when it exits the
region. It seems as if the IPv6 packet enters the
tunnel at one end and emerges at other end.
• Header Translation: sender wants to use Ipv6 but the
receiver does not understand Ipv6
• Tunneling does not worked
• Must Ipv4 format to understood
• Header format totally changed
6. Benefits of IPv6
IPv6 offers the following features:
• Increased Address Space and
Scalability – providing the absurd
number of possible addresses stated
previously.
• Integrated Security – provides built-in
authentication and encryption into the
IPv6 network header
• Compatibility with IPv4 – simplifies
address migration, as IPv6 is backward-
compatible with IPv4
7. IPv6 Address Representation
• An IPv6 address is represented as eight
groups of four hexadecimal digits, each
group representing 16 bits (two octets, a
group sometimes also called a hextet). The
groups are separated by colons (:).
• 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
• The hexadecimal digits are case-insensitive.
• The full representation of IPv6 have
following techniques;
• Leading zeroes in a group may be omitted,
but each group must retain at least one
hexadecimal digit.
• Thus, the example address may be written
as: 2001:db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334
8. IPv6 Address Representation(cont.)
• One or more consecutive groups of zero
value may be replaced with a single
empty group using two consecutive
colons (::)
• but the substitution may only be applied
once in the address, because multiple
occurrences would create an ambiguous
representation.
• For example
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
can be written as
2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
9. What happened to IPv5?
• Version 5 of the IP family was an
experimental protocol developed in the
1980s. IPv5 (also called the Internet
Stream Protocol) was never widely
deployed.
• Since the number 5 was already
allocated, this number was not
considered for the successor to IPv4.
• Several proposals were suggested as the
IPv4 successor, and each was assigned a
number. In the end, it happened that the
one with version number 6 was selected.
10. IPv6 Address Types
• Unicast - An IPv6 unicast address
uniquely identifies an interface on an
IPv6-enabled device
• Multicast - An IPv6 multicast address is
used to send a single IPv6 packet to
multiple destinations.
• Anycast - An IPv6 anycast address is any
IPv6 unicast address that can be assigned
to multiple devices. A packet sent to an
anycast address is routed to the nearest
device having that address.
11. World IPv6 Day and World IPv6 Launch Day
• World IPv6 Day was a technical testing and
publicity event in 2011 sponsored and organized
by the Internet Society and several large Internet
content services to test and promote public IPv6
deployment.
• Following the success of the 2011 test day, the
Internet Society carried out a World IPv6
Launch day on June 6, 2012 which, instead of
just a test day, was planned to permanently
enable IPv6 for the products and services of the
participants
• Up till now 20 % of IPv6 has been deployed in
the world and might be possible world will
transit to IPv6 in early 2020 due to shortage of
IPv4.
12. The IPv6 Prefix
• IPv4 utilizes a subnet mask to define the
network “prefix” and “host” portions of
an address.
• IPv6 always use CIDR notation to
determine what bits notate the prefix of
an address:
• Full Address:
1254:1532:26B1:CC14:123:1111:2222:3333/64
Prefix ID: 1254:1532:26B1:CC14:
Host ID: 123:1111:2222:3333
• The /64 indicates that the first 64 bits of
this address identify the prefix.
An IP address is essentially a postal address for each and every Internet-connected device. Without one, websites would not know where to send the information each time you perform a search or try to access a website.
The world officially ran out of the 4.3 billion available IPv4 addresses in February 2011. Yet, hundreds of millions of people are still to come online, many of whom will do so in the next few years. IPv6 is what will allow them to come online, providing enough addresses (2128 to be exact) for everyone and all of their various devices.
A lack of Internet addresses would have caused many problems; your favorite web programmes would slow down, computers would find it more difficult to communicate with one another, and your privacy could be compromised because it will be hard to tell the difference between you and another computer user down the street.
To allow the Internet to continue to grow and spread across the world, implementing IPv6 is necessary.

> Tunneling does not worked
> Must Ipv4 format to understood
> Header format totally changed
Automatic configuration: IPv6 hosts can automatically configure their own IPv6 addresses and other configuration parameters, even in the absence of an address configuration infrastructure such as DHCP.
No more NAT (Network Address Translation)
Auto-configuration
No more private address collisions
Better multicast routing
Simpler header format
Simplified, more efficient routing
True quality of service (QoS), also called "flow labeling"
Built-in authentication and privacy support
Flexible options and extensions
Easier administration (say good-bye to DHCP)
Security - Built-in, strong IP-layer encryption and authentication
Mobility - More efficient and robust mechanisms
Mobile hosts have one or more home address
relatively stable; associated with host name in DNS
A Host will acquire a care-of address when it discovers it is in a foreign subnet (i.e., not its home subnet)
uses auto-configuration or local policy to get the address
registers the care-of address with a home agent,i.e, a router on its home subnet
Packets sent to the mobile’s home address(es) are intercepted by home agent and forwarded to the care-of address, using encapsulation
Mobile IPv6 hosts sends binding-updates to correspondent to remove home agent from flow
Quality of Service
Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 3041)
Source address selection
Internet stream protocol was never used by public it was only for experimenta;l purposes
Due to different flaws it was never introduced .
What is Unicast?
Unicast is a type of communication where data is sent from one computer to another computer. Unicast is a one-to-one type of network communication. Different data streams are generated for each Unicast connection. This type of communication is the option when clients need different data from network server.
In Unicast type of communication, there is only one sender, and only one receiver.
Example for IPv6 Unicast type of network communication:
1) Browsing a website. (Webserver is the sender and your computer is the receiver.)
2) Downloading a file from a FTP Server. (FTP Server is the sender and your computer is the receiver.)
What is Multicast?
Multicast is a type of communication where multicast traffic addressed for a group of devices on the network. IPv6 multicast traffic are sent to a group and only members of that group receive the Multicast traffic.
Devices which are interested in a particular Multicast traffic must join to that Multicast group to receive the traffic.IPv6 Multicast Groups are identified by IPv6 Multicast Addresses.
In Multicast, the sender transmit only one copy of data and it is delivered to many devices (Not all devices as inIPv4 Broadcast) who are interested in that traffic.
What is Anycast?
Anycast is a type of IPv6 network communication in which IPv6 datagrams from a source are routed to the nearest device (in terms of routing distance) from a group servers which provide the same service. Every nodes which provide the same service are configured with same Anycast destination address.
Refer the above image. Here we have three servers providing the same network service, but located at different routing distances from the source network. With the help of routing protocols, IPv6 Anycast network communication can identify the near node from a group of server nodes, which provides the same service and avail the service from the near server
World IPv6 Day was announced on January 12, 2011 with five anchoring companies: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Akamai Technologies, and Limelight Networks.[3] The event started at 00:00 UTC on June 8, 2011 and ended 23:59 the same day
he main motivation for the event was to evaluate the real world effects of the IPv6 brokenness as seen by various synthetic tests. To this end, during World IPv6 Day major web companies and other industry players enabled IPv6 on their main websites for 24 hours. An additional goal was to motivate organizations across the industry – Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6, so as to ensure a successful transition from IPv4 as address space runs out[
here were more than 400 participants in the original World IPv6 Day.[8] included some of the most heavily accessed destinations on the Internet, content distribution networks,[9] as well as various Internet service and infrastructure providers including:[10] Comcast, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Yandex[11] YouTube, Akamai Technologies, Limelight Networks, Microsoft, Vonage, AOL, Mapquest, T-Online, Cisco, Juniper Networks, Huawei, the US Department of Commerce, MasterCard, the BBC, and Telmex. Major carriers measured the percentage of IPv6 traffic of all Internet traffic as increasing from 0.024 to 0.041 with respect to native and tunneled stacks combined.[12] Most IPv6 traffic in consumer access networks was to Google sites.[13] Demonstrating the need for content sites to adopt IPv6 for success, the biggest increase was actually in 6to4 transitional technologies.[13]Early results indicated that the day passed according to plan and without significant problems for the participants.[14]
Cisco and Google reported no significant issues during the test.[15][16] Facebook called the results encouraging, and decided to leave their developer site IPv6-enabled as a result.[17] But the consensus was that more work needed to be done before IPv6 could consistently be applied
